Apple, Southern Co. to fund new tech hub at Atlanta University Center

Combined, the schools have more than 9,000 students, nearly one-tenth of the nation’s total HBCU enrollment. The concentration of students here and the educational background of the schools were factors in choosing Atlanta as the site for the center, those involved in the planning said.

"The reason we wanted to be a big early supporter is because we love the idea of bringing to the talent that’s already at HBCUs things like coding and creativity and career opportunities and entrepreneurship,” said Lisa Jackson, Apple’s vice president of environment, policy and social initiatives who is leading the company’s racial equity work.
